Infinity War "That Up There... That's The Endgame." - The Robert Downey, Jr. / Iron Man Thread

[Aximili86]

Howard's a really good actor, and he had more of a career going for him than a lot of the supporting players in the films. While we don't know how much money he was asking for, if it was something outlandish they were right in canning him.

Not a huge fan of Cheadle in the role either, awesome as Cheadle is, but if he was more of a team player it was the right move.

 

[Spider-Fan]

I am sure it is, but with the money he is getting, i would have hoped he would just wear the damn thing lol. Maybe im just being picky, but if the CGI looks bad now, then in 5 years or so imagine how bad the scenes will look. Again, just a nitpick lol

But remember, when doing IM3, RDJ was pretty burnt out and was close to being done with Iron Man. So, doing it this way may have extended his tenure in the MCU. In which case, I'd rather have the floating head.

I am less forgiving on the Spidey suit and BP suits.

That is true i forgott about that, **** i love floating head then lmao

And yes, idk how those two look so awful. That is my main complaint about them two, Spiderman just looks wrong when he is fully CG, and BP... i dont even know why him being CG is an option. That final fight in his movie had me scratching my head.

You're right. Howard had a slight comeback with the success of Empire (one of the biggest shows on tv a few years ago).

I kinda miss Cheadle doing films outside of the MCU. But glad that he's still onscreen. Just wished they gave him more to work with as WM.

Well....he was in Kendrick Lamar's music video form "DNA" last year.

Yeah t: I guess I miss him in films like Hotel Rwanda or Traitor. A really strong actor who hasn't had that opportunity in the Iron Man films as of yet.

Where was this from? Is it just a still that was released?

The first trailer just has a more close up version of this

 

[Tacit Ronin]

Gotta love the widow's peak on dat there helmet. Reminds of classic Iron Man.

It was an IMAX still released after the first trailer.

 

[Iceman]

I love the look of the suit in that shot.

The weird thing is that the actors film their parts in costume and they look great, but for some weird reason, they choose to do replace it all with CGI.

 

[Spider-Fan]

The Mark VII I feel is still the best Iron Man armor to date, IMO

 

[Quasimod0]

For me it's close between Mark 3 for the simplicity of it, and mark vii

 

[Gold Samurai]

Bleeding edge armor

From a previous trailer

From a new TV spot

I guess this is when we get the big debut of the new armor

 

[JOE]

I can't believe this is actually happening... We're getting the movie we've been waiting for since 2012's post credit scene!

He appears to be holding his midsection as if someone or something hit him there prior to the scene where Thanos lays him down.

That... that just disappoints me even more lol. Like why would they even think that is a good idea?

 

[JtheDreamer]

What's crazy is at the time it seemed really far out and now I look back thinking 6 years is honestly not too much time. It's wild how many films they released in 10 years.

 

[The Duh]

Given how the prelude comic showed the arc reactor projecting a hologram of the suit, I was actually hoping that would be how Tony accesses the suit in the film (a hologram which manifests into a real suit and then he walks into the suit like in Iron Man 3 or it flies into and wraps around him like the Mark VII from Avengers 1) since Black Panther already has the nanotech materialization going on.

 

[BigThor]

Yeah I feel the same way.

 

[Aximili86]

Anyone else hoping we might get another licensed song this time around in a Tony scene? The Russos aren't opposed to using songs, end of TWS with Marvin Gaye.

Just sort of have a hankering for a bit of a Favreau-era throwback here, especially if the two movies are the last RDJ appearances.

Probably no more AC~DC though - maybe another Sabbath song? Might have a double coolness factor given his Avengers 1 shirt.

Or something in a similar vein to that, alternatively. Judas Priest maybe? Especially given they have the new killer album eveyone's raving about, best they've ever sounded. Definitely in Tony's wheelhouse/rock generation, could see something like the new single during a big entrance, flying & firing repulsors at the Order or whoever.

But yeah, any 70s/80s style rock song, doesn't really matter, it'd just be cool getting something like that again to come full circle to IM1/2/Avengers.

Nice nod to the comics with the Morgan Stark name drop although I think he said it was his uncles name rather than his cousin like it was in the comics.

 

[Aximili86]

Didn't even catch that line - when was that?

 

[LvtLeeTDK]

How the hell does Tony manage to

Spoiler

survive after stabbed by Thanos ? It's clearly a serious wound. And he heals just by using some kind of heal beam ? If no explanation is given then I would blame the writer for this. Clearly lazy writing.
